Needs Assessment

January 2014

Do you see a need for simulated medications to enhance realism and learning during the scenarios?

Are there any injectable drugs you would like specifically created for your simulations? (If so, please include concentration and volume)

Do you have any suggestions for injectable drugs that may be useful for simulation, in general? (If so, please include concentration and volume)

Do you know of any colleagues who would be interested in pharmaceutical simulation or integrating simulated pharmaceuticals into their teaching at the Simulation Center? If so, please provide their name and I will contact them.

Cost Analysis

January 2014

Total Yearly Cost Using In-House Simulated Drugs versus Commercial Drugs for Anesthesia Residents

Total Yearly Cost Using In-House Simulated Drugs versus Commercial Drugs for a Class of 60 Nursing Students

Vial Type Vials Produced Commercial Cost Sim Produced Non-Tech Produced10 mL 720 $1,252.80 $1,461.60 $979.20

Assumption: A year’s worth of simulated drugs for Anesthesia residents is based upon 3 vials of simulated drugs used during each simulated case, 3 cases per week, 4 times per month, 12 months per year, which equals a total of 432 vials (with an additional 68 vials as a buffer in case more are needed throughout the year)

Assumption: A nursing program with 60 students learning how to draw medications for intravenous administration. Each get three 10 mL vials of 0.9% NaCl to do this with. Each course occurring 4 times per year.
